It is my experience that overt bigotry or Conservatism often has an underpinning of either emotional trauma, spiritual brainwashing, or both. Unfortunately, the only treatment for those things is an open mind. I wish you the best. I fear that the divisiveness in our world is going to increase before it lessens, and so the stress between you two may pose a greater challenge in the coming months and years. Keep you head about you at all times, and remember that, as long as one of you is rational and balanced, and loves the other person, there's always hope.
